2. Delay After Cancel
3. Copying CDs
4. Mastering Limitations
5. Conflicts with Easy CD Creator 4
1. Reading Audio Discs
------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you create an Audio CD using a CD-RW disc, you will only be able to
play this disc on Multi-Read capable CD players. For best results, it
is recommended that Audio CDs be created using CD-R media.
For DVD players, please consult your DVD Owner's Manual in order to
determine which type of media will provide the best results.
2. Delay After Cancel
------------------------------------------------------------------------
A delay of a few seconds to several minutes may result after cancelling
an operation. The length of delay will depend upon the the drive model,
type of media used, and the point at which the operation was cancelled.
3. Copying CDs
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Copying Audio CDs may take longer than copying Data CDs on some models
of drives. This will vary between models and can be affected by the
quality of the source media.
4. Mastering Limitations
------------------------------------------------------------------------
HP MyCD can record files that contain file names up to 110 characters
in length. This maximum length is a limitation of the recording file
system, and cannot be exceeded.
5. Conflicts with Easy CD Creator 4
------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you are using HP MyCD on a system containing Windows 2000 and
Adaptec Easy CD Creator 4, you may experience a conflict. You will
not encounter this problem if your version of Adaptec software is v4.02
or greater.
